BIO - Cell Cycle

Question 1

a series of events that a cell goes through as it grows and divides to produce two new daughter cells

Answer 1

Cell cycle

Question 2

It is longer than the m phase. Sometimes it is considered as a resting stage between cell division

Answer 2

Interphase

Question 3

In this stage, the cell continues to grow. It also
produces enough energy for the next steps of the cell cycle

Answer 3

Gap 1 Phase

Question 4

In this stage, DNA synthesis or replication happens. This results in the formation of two
identical copies of the chromosomes called sister chromatids

Answer 4

Synthesis(S) Phase

Question 5

In this stage, the cell duplicates some of its
organelles. Synthesizes proteins and prepare for
cell division

Answer 5

Gap 2 Phase

Question 6

In this stage, the cell ceases growth and protein
reproduction. Instead, it now focuses on dividing

Answer 6

M phase

Question 7

A process by which the cytoplasm of the original cell is divided and distributed to two daughter cells.

Answer 7

Cytokinesis

Question 8

In this phase, the cells become inactive. Some cells will proceed to cell division if there are signals telling them to do so

Answer 8

Gap 0 phase

Question 9

It is responsible for checking all the necessary conditions needed for cell division.

Answer 9

Gap 1 checkpoint

Question 10

Its primary responsibility is to check that all the chromosomes were replicated correctly with no damages

Answer 10

Gap 2 checkpoint

Question 11

It verifies whether all chromosomes are attached to the right spindle fibers and are properly aligned along the metaphase plate prior to separation

Answer 11

M checkpoint
